A Course Reference Number, often abbreviated CRN, is a unique identifier assigned to a specific class section at an educational institution. This is in contrast to a course number, which follows other conventions and is used to refer to the course itself, instead of a specific section of the course. CRNs are used during the registration process to identify the section of a course the student wishes to register for.

Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or number:
“I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know. You pull one book from the shelf, which carries a hint or a reference that sends you posthaste to another book, and that to successive others. It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
